Results of previous studies suggest that the timing of intravesical mitomycin C administration may impact bladder tumor recurrence rate following radical nephroureterectomy. This is the first study of its kind to attempt to identify the importance of timing of mitomycin C administration relative to bladder tumor recurrence rate following radical nephroureterectomy.This study will investigate the one year bladder tumor recurrence rate in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract following intraoperative administration of mitomycin C during a nephroureterectomy, as well as the time to bladder tumor recurrence in this patient population.

Bladder Tumor Recurrence Rate
The bladder tumor recurrence rate will be measured by the percentage of subjects who are confirmed by bladder biopsy to have a recurrence of urothelial carcinoma in the bladder following nephroureterectomy
Time frame: 1 year
Time to Bladder Tumor Recurrence
Determine the median time to bladder tumor recurrence. A subject is considered to have had a bladder tumor recurrence when they have been confirmed by bladder biopsy to have a recurrence of urothelial carcinoma in the bladder following nephroureterectomy.
Time frame: 3 years
Percentage of Subjects Who Had a Bladder Tumor Recurrence 3 Years Post-operatively
Determine the percentage of subjects who are confirmed by bladder biopsy to have a recurrence of urothelial carcinoma in the bladder following nephroureterectomy 3 years post-operatively.
Time frame: 3 years
